They have been continued so long only
10 pay the expenses growing out of the
wsr, such as PENSIONS, or interest on the
public debt, or because from their very
nature the tax cannot be levied
by the state authority. If Tennes-
see should tax the production or
manufacture OF whisky, tobacco
or beer it would only drive their manu-
iacture into neighbori2g states which
levied no tax. Another reason why these
articles are taxed by Congress is the tax
is easily and CheapIy collected and more
fully paid than anyOther perhaps, because
the consumer is happy in using them that
he does not think of the tax. Ia this
way over 8lO0. 100000 Of national reVe-
nue. is raised, but these taxes
though not felt as q serious burden, can
be dispensed with, reduced or modified,
whenever it is deemed best. There still
remains the duties levied on imported
goods, and in the mode of doing this lies
the main issue between the Republican
and Democratic parties. Both parties con-
cede these taxes Orduties on goods import
ed from foreign countries must be rs they
haye IN the past, the main source Of
national revenue. The Democratic party
claims, however, they shall be levied for
revenue only, while the Republican party
claim that, while levied for revenue, they
should be so adjusted as to protect,
further and encourage American industry.
The domestic production of manufac-
tured articles in the United States
for the wear 1886 is round
ly estimated at $500, 900, 600,
of which amount about One-halt, or So
500,000,0Oo, are domestic articles which
compete with foreign pro- uctt1ns. Mr..
Sherman then entered into lengthy and
able disquisitiCn OF the tar # question,
lucidly explained the mCdus OperaHGi of
taxation, the articles subject TO duty and
the revenue they returned to the govern
ment. His argument was able and
an exhaustive one for protection, bri~tling
with facts and figures in support OF his
views. The speech wss Sttantivelg
listened TO Oy the large audience present,

Mysterious Danger Signals at the Scene of
tho Republic Wreck

Mysterious Danger Signals at tho Scene Of
the Republic Wreck.
TIFFIN, O., March 4.-The people at BE
public, are agitated over ghost story
sensation at present. A few nights ago
when Limited Express No. 5 Che same
train that was wrecked and burned
January ~ was approaching the scene
Of that horrible disaster the engineer
saw red light (the danger signaD ahead,
and applying the brake and reversing
his engine he brought his train to a
standstill on almost the exact spot Of
the great wreck. Strange to say, when
the train came to standstlll the light
had disappeared and could nowhere be
seen. Before stopping both the engineer
and fireman noticed that the light
appeared to be carried by a woman
dressed wholly In white. Puzzled by
the disappearance Of the signal, the en-
gineeR and conductor walked over the
track and examined 1t for some distance
ahead Of the train, but could discover
nothing. The train then backed to the
Republic station and the operator was
questioned, but he assured them that
no signal had been sent out. The train
then proceeded on Its way, running
cautiously for several miles and the
engineer keeping q sharp lookout, but
nothing was seen Of the mysterious
woman or signal. This strange appari-
tion has appeared on three different oC-
cRsions. and has greatly excited the
residents and the train men. The Ques-
tiOn Is, who or what 10 this mysterious
parsonage? Is II a creature OF the Inn
aglnsti0np Is tia disemb0dled spirit?
Or Ia 1t some practical joker A posse
Of Republicstes have watched the place
for several nights, but the ghost has
not appeared.
